Summary:

"With historian of African history and Sahifa Journal's managing editor Ngala Chome we talk about the importance of creative writing to capture the epistemic complexity and diversity of Africa's lived experiences. Based in Nairobi, Sahifa is created by and for an (east) African public. Their mission is Afro-centric and eclectic. The European canon is not rejected, but decommissioned as the dominant model for knowledge production and storytelling about Africa. With historical examples such as Sahifa pamphlet in the 1930s and Kwani? Journal more recently, but also contemporary journals like Chimurenga and down river road as inspiration, Sahifa Journal aims to be a new node in the rich web of African publishing practices."-- provided by distributor.
